Hybrid Multiscale Methods with Applications to Semiconductors, Porous Media, and Materials Science

Creator:: Costa, Timothy B.
Abstract:: In this work we consider two multiscale applications with tremendous computational complexity at the lower scale. First, we examine a model for charge transport in semicon- ductor structures with heterojunction interfaces. Due to the complex physical phenomena at the interface, the model at the design scale is unable to adequately...

New multi-functional chalcogenides for photovoltaic and thermoelectric materials

Creator:: Heo, Jaeseok
Abstract:: The subject of this PhD thesis is part of a research domain of great present interest in new semiconductor materials for photovoltaic and thermoelectric applications. This domain contains the elaboration and the study of both Cu-based chalcogenides bulk and thin-film samples, driven by materials design principles. One of the most...

Creator:: Jieratum, Vorranutch
Abstract:: The materials Fe₂(Si,Ge)(S,Se)₄, Cu₃PS[subscript 4-x]Se[subscript x] (0 ≤ x ≤ 4), and Cu₃PxAs[subscript 1-x]S₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been synthesized and studied as new earth-abundant absorbers for single and multijunction photovoltaic cells as well as solar fuel generation. The synthesis, single-crystal growth, and optical and electrical properties of...

Atomic solid state energy scale applied to novel thin-film solar absorbers

Creator:: Pelatt, Brian D.
Abstract:: The atomic solid state energy (SSE) scale is introduced as a tool for inorganic materials design. The SSE scale is obtained by assessing an average electron affinity (EA) (for a cation) or an average ionization potential (IP) (for an anion) for each atom using data from compounds having that specific...

Growth and characterization of the p-type semiconductors SnS and BiCuOSe

Creator:: Francis, Jason
Abstract:: BiCuOSe and SnS are layered, moderate band gap (ε[subscript G] ≈ 1 eV) semiconductors that exhibit intrinsic p type conductivity. Doping of BiCuOSe with Ca results in a slight expansion of the lattice and an increase of the hole concentration from 10¹⁸ cm⁻³ to greater than 10²⁰ cm⁻³. The large...

Transition metal solar absorbers

Creator:: Altschul, Emmeline Beth
Abstract:: A new approach to the discovery of high absorbing semiconductors for solar cells was taken by working under a set of design principles and taking a systemic methodology. Three transition metal chalcogenides at varying states of development were evaluated within this framework. Iron pyrite (FeS₂) is well known to demonstrate...

Precursor Chemistry and Film Structure and Properties via Solution Deposition

Creator:: Huang, Yu
Abstract:: Chemistry of preparing dense film from solution deposition is explored with several cases in this thesis. Surface dense structure, conversion at melting point, and ion exchange in aqueous solution are the main topics covered here for the thin films of aluminum oxide phosphate and tin dioxide. Thin film density, optical...

Aqueous niobium chemistry at low pH : new precursors for oxide thin films

Creator:: Park, Deok-Hie
Abstract:: Phosphate and peroxide stabilize new oxo-hydroxo niobium clusters in water at low pH. The clusters open a new chapter in aqueous niobium chemistry under acidic conditions. The clusters also produce atomically smooth, amorphous niobium oxide phosphate (NbPOx) thin films. Reaction pathways from cluster solutions to amorphous niobium oxide phosphate solids...

Development of Cu-based Thin Films for Optoelectronic Applications

Creator:: Angelos, Gregory S.
Abstract:: CIGS and CdTe based commercial thin-ﬁlm solar cells (TFSCs) require an absorber thickness greater than 2 µm and 4 µm, respectively, to adequately absorb the solar spectrum. To efficiently extract photoexcited electrons, these TFSCs require relatively defect-free absorbers with high-minority carrier mobility (> 100 cm2V−1s−1) and long lifetime (> 10...

Analysis of domain decomposition methods for the simulation of charge transport in semiconductor structures with heterojunctions

Creator:: Costa, Timothy B.
Abstract:: Charge transport in a semiconductor structure with heterojunction is described by a multiscale partial differential equation model. This model can be used, e.g., for the design of more efficient solar cells. Phenomena at the heterojunction must be resolved at the angstrom scale while the size of the device is that...
